I have niblets who I mostly see over video calls due to distance, and their growth and advances are a constant shock compared to the bubble I live in otherwise. So the moments of “wait, I’m how old again?” are not infrequent.
After some thought a bug part of what's going on is an willingness to take responsibility for a given groups actions in perpetuating things... It's always a cycle of 'necessary' reaction
so many people are incapable of comprehending that two people who virulently disagree can both be entirely correct, but just have very different priorities

It's not a terrible feeling since most of the developments are positive.
